DADDY AND ROBIN

     My Mom used to babysit for me when my daughter was little.  Dad worked swing shift for United Airlines which was 3-11 PM and a couple of mornings during the week he would go to the grocery store and take Robin with him.  He had an old 1960 Chevrolet Impala which was light blue and white and he called it the Blue Bird.  This was actually a joke because the work car he had before this was a very old car can't recall the manufacturer which was two-tone navy blue and light blue and really ugly that we all called the Blue Jewell, Ugh!.
     Robin would stand up next to Dad in the front seat so she must have been around two years old--somewhere between two and three.  Now you've got to know this was before car seats were mandatory or anything like the little space capsule seats they are today.  Dad would say "Hold tight" and they'd take off to the store to get bread and milk.  Dad taught Robin a little song "Hold tight, hold tight, abbuda rackie sackie want some seafood mama".  This used to crack me up to hear Robin sing this.  It was from some boogie woogie song that was popular during WWII.
     I googled the words and came up with this:


                             Hold Tight (Want Some Seafood, Mama)
                                           The Andrews Sisters

                              Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
                              Foo-ra-de-ack-a-sa-ki
                              Want some sea food mama
                              Shrimpers and rice they're very nice
                              Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
                              Foo-ra-de-ack-a-sa-ki
                              Want some sea food mama
                              Steamers and sauce and then of course
                              I like oysters, lobsters too, and I like my tasty butter fish
                              When I come home from work at night
                              I get my favorite dish, fish
                              Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
                              Foo-ra-de-ack-a-sa-ki
                              Want some sea food mama
                              Shrimpers and rice
                              They're very nice
                              They're very nice.
